I lived in a Communist country in my early childhood. Then moved to USA. Due to my family’s history of persecution, I have maintained a great interest in politics and particularly in the history of Communism. Yet I learned so much new information from this book. Kengor’s research is amazingly thorough. In fact I followed up on many of his references which slowed me down a bit. For example I spent a lot of time learning more about Bella Dodd; interesting individual with a complicated life. The audio was very well read. The voice reader uses different accents throughout in order to give more legitimacy to the quotes. He does a great job! Still I would like to get a hard copy because this book is loaded with interesting information.
